ApplyConnect®, a secure, consumer-initiated background screening solution, is constantly working to improve and ensure high security standards within their tenant screening reports for real estate agents and landlords. With security qualifications like the annual Experian independent 3rd party assessment, data encryption and data protection procedures, the company continues to provide a safe and easy online tenant screening solution for real estate brokers.

Before the real estate agent and landlord user sends out a link to complete ApplyConnect®’s online rental application, the user verifies their identity and creates a password-protected account. Each potential tenant that completes the online rental application will verify their identity and have access to view their background check while simultaneously sharing it with the real estate agent. ApplyConnect®’s tenant screening report includes a full Experian® credit report (with VantageScore 3.0), a nationwide background check with eviction, criminal history, and sex offender registry search, however, all social security and tradeline account numbers are masked from the real estate agent and property owner’s reports. The company assures that all data is encrypted.

Cyndi Mino, an agent from First Team Real Estate raved, “My clients feel more secure submitting their information to ApplyConnect®, knowing it's secure! I will get the copy of the report I need but it doesn’t have any information they don’t want me to have. I also love that I don't have to wait for the background report!”

Alongside the company’s secure consumer-initiated tenant screening reports, ApplyConnect® annually undergoes an Experian Independent 3rd Party Assessment and has FTC-approved data disposal methods in place. Data security is a top priority with every ApplyConnect® report, and the company assures that as new cyber threats emerge they are continuing to enhance the security of the tenant screening platform.
